Oxford

We made a brief visit to the famous university town of Oxford on 24 February 2024.

It had been a quarter century to my first visit here. In February 1999, I traveled by ferry and train from Dublin to visit a friend who was studying at Oxford’s Jesus College. Over the next few years, I made a number of trips centered on Oxford. I have many fond memories and lots of Fujichrome slides from these adventures. My last visit was in the Spring of 2007.

On our February 2024 visit, I made this selection of photos of trains using my Nikon Z7-II, my first digital images at the Oxford station.

We had rich and changeable wintery light, which lent to exposing some interesting back lit and side lit images of the passing trains at Oxford station. I modified the Nikon NEF RAW files in post processing to make the most of the light.

Among the places we visited in Oxford was the Ashmolean museum, where I photographed artifacts with my Lumix LX7.
